Except, of course, that I have... especially the bit that describes the
--replace option. A small bit, I admit, but it's there. I suppose it's
rather appropriate that a window manager as featureless as metacity has as
featureless a man page.
The alternatives system is not intended to control what window manager
Gnome uses. It's intended to provide a sane and safe default for X to use
to get a basic environment running.
The fact that metacity registers an alternative for x-window-manager is a
bonus, not a requirement. The fact that newbies are told that
x-window-manager is the way to control what window manager they're using is
unfortunate.
